Can't add bookmarks - always sent to home screen.

I am having an odd issue with Safari. No matter which bookmark button I hit, "Add to Home" or "Add Bookmark", the option to add an icon to the home screen always comes up. I cannot add a bookmark to my bookmark list. I am running 3.1.2 and have had this issue since 3.0.
Does anyone know how to remedy this?

1. Restart your phone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until a red slider appears, and then drag the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
2. Reset your phone: Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
3. Restore your phone: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

  • Can I add bookmarks "list" to home screen"

    Can I add an icon  to my home screen which has "all" the bookmark web sites list, under the one icon?

    The closest I could find is when you bookmark a website tap "add to home screen " when available.  Then put all those site's icon in a folder. I did notice however  not all sites wanted to go into the folder.

  • Can't add bookmarks, having tried resetting toolbars and uninstalling all bookmark-related add-ons.

    The Help suggested the resetting of toolbars using safe mode, and I did that, and I still can't add bookmarks. I have never had any bookmark-related add-ons, and went through just to make sure. Any suggestions?

    If Safari worked correctly in the other User Account, the remedy usually points to replacing a localized corrupted file in the affected User Account, rather than an Application install. The latter usually does not help.
    Hopefully, you haven't trashed the existing Safari.app. Let me know if you have.
    Perhaps the Safari preference file is at the root of the problem. Go to the Finder: navigate to HD>Users>Your User Account>Library>Preference file. There, move to the trash the com.apple.safari.plist file, then restart Safari. You'll need to reestablish any Safari preferences in either the Preference panel, or in the View and Edit (spelling) menus.

    I have Firefox 4 Beta on my Macbook,and i can't add Bookmarks at all.I had the same problem also with the Firefox 3.6.2 version.How could i fix that?

    # Upgrade Firefox 3.6.2 to 3.6.13.
    # Use a specific [[Managing profiles|profile]] for Firefox 4.0b8 to prevent interferences between versions

  • How do I add actual email accounts to home screen-not just HUB?

    How do I add actual email accounts to home screen-not just HUB? Can anyone give me the steps?

    Essentially the Hub area is a home screen dedicated to your communication. Tap on the lower left icon and each of your messaging sections has its own dedicated 'icon.' As JC mentioned, it is new and it may take a while to get used to it.. but once you do it really is a great way to deal with the unified messaging idea and it also allows you to break down what you are looking at very quickly. Just need to learn a few new tricks.  I've been on the Z for just over 3 months now and I could never go back...

  • Hi My grandparents just bought an iPod Touch for me from Dubai, UAE. I can't see any facetime on the home screen nor in the settings. I've read that it's not possible. But is it possible if I get my OS updated again from India?

    Hi My grandparents just bought an iPod Touch for me from Dubai, UAE. I can't see any facetime on the home screen nor in the settings. I've read that it's not possible. But is it possible if I get my OS updated again from India?

    There is no way you can activate Facetime on an iPod touch purchased in the UAE. The government there required Apple to lock off Facetime at the hardware level and there's no way to unlock it. Reinstalling iOS, regardless of country, will not help. If you want Facetime, you will need to sell your UAE-version iPod and buy one there in India.

  • Can't add bookmarks anymore and issues with fix

    hi community
    i need some expert help for i'm a newish mac user. i have a mac with os lion, safari 5.1.5
    all of a sudden i can't add any bookmarks anymore using the plus sign next to url.  searched many websites which offer adequate solutions to fix but i cannot follow as folders/files can't seem to be found.  I even had trouble finding the safari folder as it don't exist under library-  may be clueless but i seem to have 2 folders for library: one under macintosh hd, the other under the system folder.  also can't find the bookmarks.plist file either using spotlight.  some sites say locate the com.apple.safari file, which seems to be missing in either cache folders, example of what is there is com.apple.components2.localcache.audiocomponents etc....
    its frustrating especially when you find a good website to add to an already organised bookmarks folder. 
    NOTE- i did find safari folder via spotlight but within it was 2 folders of bookmarks and history and both don't have the bookmarks.plist file and only endless "webbookmarks..."

    Hi..
      I even had trouble finding the safari folder as it don't exist under library-
    The Safari app is stored in the Applications folder.
    may be clueless but i seem to have 2 folders for library: one under macintosh hd, the other under the system folder
    There are two libraries.
    One is root /Library
    The other is your user level   ~/Library   ~ (Tilde) character represents your Home folder.
    I believe the cache you are searching for is the Cache.db but that may not help the Bookmarks issue. This may be more of a corrupted preferences problem.
    Click the Finder icon in your Dock. From the Finder menu bar top of your screen click Go > Go to Folder
    Type this exactly has you see it here:   ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
    Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
    Navigate to a site you want to Bookmark then from the menu bar click Bookmarks > Add Bookmark
    If that worked, move that .plist file to the Trash. If not, move the .plist file back to the Preferences folder.
    Deny.. when you post for help, please tell us which Mac OS X you have installed.

    Did you go to the Firefox profile folder and delete all places.* files or moved them to another location (folder)?
    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
    That will force Firefox to create a new places.sqlite database file and automatically import the bookmarks from the most recent JSON backup in the bookmarkbackups folder.
    I'm not sure if a reset would work properly in cases like this with possible file corruption, but you can give it a try if deleting places.sqlite didn't work.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems
    If you reset Firefox then a new profile is created and some of your data (bookmarks, history, cookies, passwords, form data) is automatically imported and your current profile will be moved to the desktop (Old Firefox Data).
    You will lose extensions and other customizations (toolbars, prefs) that you've made.
    It is possible to recover more data from the old profile, but be cautious to avoid carrying over the problem.
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Creating a profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
    If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
